Chapter 126: Clarity of Intent

"We don't know what the Heavenly Star Kingdom is, we only recognize the silver, leave the silver, and we will let you go," the visitor continued, seemingly very obsessed with robbing the silver.

"This general is Lou Xiyu, the general of the Tianxing Kingdom, if you know each other, quickly give way and leave, otherwise, don't blame this general for being ruthless under the sword. Lou Xiyu saw that the other party always hid in the dark and did not come forward, and she already had some faint anger.

"Brothers, the general of the Tianxing Kingdom must be very rich when he heard that he is not such a big official, so he gave it to me, and this vote is enough for a few of us brothers to eat meat for a long time. The voice in the shadows continued, and then an order was given, and there was a sound of rustling in the mountains and forests.

The chaotic but powerful footsteps gradually approached, and soon, what appeared in front of Lou Xiyu and Du Gonggong was the black-clothed people who came out of the mountains and forests, holding weapons in their hands one by one, covering their faces, and they couldn't see the faces on their faces clearly, but they could feel the fierce and vicious aura emanating from their bodies.

"General Lou Lou, what can I do" Du's father-in-law saw those black-clothed people, his legs were even weaker, although the number of black-clothed people not far away was not very large, but everyone had a strong momentum, which made people involuntarily feel horrified.

"Kill. Lou Xiyu spit out this word coldly in her mouth, but she didn't know whether she was answering Du's father-in-law or giving orders to the soldiers who followed behind her.

I don't know who made the first move, but I saw that the soldiers under the man in black and Lou Xiyu quickly fought together, and the sound of weapons colliding sounded in the air, which was extremely fierce.

Lou Xiyu also held the hilt of the sword in his hand tightly, planning to make a move when the man in black approached. But he sat upright on his horse and looked at the men in black who were fighting with the soldiers, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He could naturally see that these black-clothed men were all first-class masters, and their martial arts were as good as those soldiers under him, but these black-clothed men seemed to be deliberately letting these soldiers, and they did not hurt the killers, but showed no mercy to those people that Dugong brought from the capital of Tianxing Kingdom.

Du's father-in-law was next to Lou Xiyu, seeking a protection, just so that Lou Xiyu could save his life as he did just now when he was in danger. Because of this, the frightened Du Gonggong did not notice anything abnormal, nor did he realize that the people he brought from the capital of the Heavenly Star Kingdom had become the souls of those black-clothed people.

Xiao Yi was in the carriage, quietly listening to the movement outside, knowing who was coming, naturally he didn't have to worry, and his comfortable attitude also affected Huai Jin, so that Huai Jin's original heart gradually stabilized.

Huai Jin lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the fight not far away, all the people brought by Du Gonggong were killed with a knife, and they fell in a pool of blood, silent, and there was no one alive, but Lou Xiyu's soldiers were not like this, although they were also injured, they were all minor injuries, not fatal.

What's more, those black-clothed people seemed to be trying to paralyze Gonggong Du, and moved their hands and feet on the legs of the soldiers of the Heavenly Star Country, so that after they fell to the ground, they could no longer stand up, and could only lie on the ground with a muffled grunt.

Soon, Lou Xiyu understood the intentions of these black-clothed people, these people must be Xiao Yi or Qingchen's people, disguised as bandits who robbed houses and houses, just to confuse Du's father-in-law and the gang of people under him, now that these people are dead, they can be said to be killed by bandits and robbers against Mu Qingjue, so they can't blame Lou Xiyu's head.

Just when Du Gonggong thought that Lou Xiyu's side was the safest, a long sword suddenly appeared in front of Du Gonggong's eyes, and wiped it towards his neck.

Lou Xiyu didn't have time to pay attention to whether Du's father-in-law was okay, and when he saw the other party attacking, he pulled out his long sword and fought with the other party, the man in black was not bad at martial arts, so Lou Xiyu concentrated on dealing with the person in front of him.

The person who fought against Lou Xiyu was Zhao Xu, although he was the first guard by Xiao Yi's side, but his martial arts were still a cut behind Lou Xiyu, and he could only do his best to barely have a draw with Lou Xiyu, and at the moment when he approached Lou Xiyu, he said in a low voice:

"General Lou. ”

When Lou Xiyu heard this, the movements in her hands stagnated slightly, and she was about to ask Zhao Xu what was going on, but she heard Du's duck-like voice come again:

"General Lou, save our family, our family doesn't want to die yet"

Lou Xiyu blocked Zhao Xu's sword with a sword, took a few steps back, stood still, turned around and looked behind him, but saw that a man in black who had not appeared before was holding Duke Du hostage, and the dagger in his hand was on Duke Du's neck.

"Stop, stop, I'll kill him. The man in black who appeared behind spoke, looking at Lou Xiyu.

Lou Xiyu stared at the person in front of him, although the person covered his face, but the eyes exposed outside were so familiar, they were the eyes he had stared at countless times, no matter what kind of identity she was, what kind of mask she was wearing, he would not admit it wrong.

That person was Mu Qingchen.

"General Lou, tell your people to stop, stop" When Duke Du heard this, he was worried about his own life, so he immediately screamed and immediately said to Lou Xiyu.

Lou Xiyu thought about it a few times, and connected all these things into a line in her mind, and she understood a little in her heart what was going on in front of her.

waved his hand, let his subordinates stop, and did not continue to entangle with those men in black, since Qingchen wants to act, then he will accompany him to act, as long as the current dilemma can be solved, everything is easy to say.

When those soldiers saw Lou Xiyu's gesture, they stopped and stepped aside, the people who had fallen to the ground were in stark contrast to the people who were standing, but Lou Xiyu didn't seem to care at all, because he knew that the soldiers under him were not worried about their lives.

"What do you want to do to let go of Gonggong Du" Lou Xiyu is also a smart person, and after understanding Qingchen's intentions, he asked.

"I don't want much, I just want those two people in your carriage. I will exchange this person in my hand with you, if you agree, I will let the carriage go, I will release him, if you don't agree, I can only kill him, and then snatch it from your hands. Qingchen said, with a little force in his hand, the dagger cut a bloody mark on Du's neck.

Lou Xiyu didn't speak, his face was solemn, as if he was thinking about whether Qingchen's words were feasible, and at the moment when he hesitated, Gonggong Du screamed again, but Qingchen increased his strength again.

"It seems that General Lou is not willing, well, I am not reluctant. Qingchen said, waving the dagger in his hand, and he was about to kill Du's father-in-law.

But I only heard Du Gong shouting publicly: "General Lou, let people go."

"Du's father-in-law, these two people are wanted by the emperor, and they can't be released, this is what the father-in-law told the general before. Lou Xiyu was surprised for a while, and then spoke, "If the new emperor of Yongning has any mistakes, I'm afraid that you and I will not be able to explain to the emperor, and all the soldiers will have to be implicated because of this." ”

"You pedantic wood, Xiao Yi can be caught again if he is rescued, if our family dies, then there will be only one life" Du Gonggong didn't look like he was asking for help at all, and scolded Lou Xiyu.

Qingchen frowned, couldn't help but get angry, and took advantage of Du's mouth to open and close, and threw a pill into Du's mouth, and the action was incredible.

The pill melted in his mouth, and by the time Du Gonggong realized that he had eaten something he shouldn't have eaten, the pill had already slid down his throat and into his stomach, disappearing, and merging with his body.

"Ahem, what did you eat for our family," Du's grandfather opened his mouth and asked.

"It's just some poison that is not deadly, give you a lesson, otherwise you don't know what kind of situation you are in now" Qingchen said in a cold voice, "I am already a prisoner, how can I order others Do you think that now, I am still in the palace of your Heavenly Star Country, can I let you walk sideways"

As Qingchen's words fell, Gonggong Du began to twist his body uneasily, but he still had a dagger around his neck, and he couldn't move around, lest his little life be so unexplained.

"Your Excellency's purpose in intercepting this general today is for the emperor of the Ning Yue Kingdom," Lou Xiyu asked.

"If you don't talk nonsense, if you don't let people go, this person is not just a little tickle. Qingchen interrupted Lou Xiyu's words, and deliberately pretended to be very vicious.

Du's body is extremely itchy, and it seems that there are thousands of small insects crawling in his body, which is very uncomfortable, but the cold touch on his neck reminds him that he can't move, and if he is not careful, he will be in a different place, and this kind of pain and torment has always made Du's father-in-law deeply tormented.

"General Lou, even if our family begs you, let those two people go, it's a big deal for our family to go to the emperor to explain to you, our family doesn't want to die so early" Du's father-in-law said, crying and begging Lou to cherish the jade.

"Dugong Du, if the emperor blames it," Lou Xiyu said.

"No, no, no, the emperor won't blame, our family will explain General Lou's difficulties to the emperor," Du's father-in-law asked again.

Lou Xiyu seemed to be very embarrassed, glanced at Du's father-in-law, and finally nodded and agreed to Qingchen's request, agreeing to exchange Xiao Yi and Huai Jin for Du's father-in-law's life.

Everything was planned, the people brought by Dugong had already died in the hands of Zhao Xu and the gang of black-clothed people, and Qingchen saw through the essence of Du's greed for life and fear of death, and used Du's life as a threat, and conspired with Lou Xiyu to act in this play.

Of course, Du's father-in-law naturally didn't know all this, what he saw in his eyes was that a group of bandits and bandits fought with Lou Xiyu's soldiers in order to rob the silver, and by the way, they also involved the people he brought, and even killed all those people. And this man in black who appeared later was fishing in troubled waters, taking advantage of the gap between the two sides to fight, he caught him to threaten and rescued Xiao Yi.
